Ever stuck in a dilemma when you are in urgent need of something but fail to get one. Well ! 'shareMate' does the job for you there !

Description

Creating your request

• The user sign in to his account.

• He generates a request which passes on to all the members connected with us from the same locality.

• The rest of the process goes as explained below.

Dealing with others' request

• The user connects with shareMate by creating an account on it.

• Successful registration redirects the user to a page where he has the list of all the requests which have been requested by other users.

• It is upto the user to accept or delete the request.

• If the user accepts the request, a notification will be sent to the generator of that request.

• Both the particiants interact with each other using the contact details available on both the sides.

• If the deal suits the generator, he approves the request and the request gets deleted from the main database.

• The more you help, the higher you score.

How to run
